Software Engineering Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by Google through Google Foobar, then applied on their website for a Software Engineering Intern position.

There was one phone call with a candidate review associate, followed by two 45-minute technical interviews over Google Hangouts. Both interviewers were nice, but the microphone quality varied between interviewers, which could interfere with communication.

The process took roughly 8 weeks.

Questions

Under NDA, so I can't say. However, having a solid CS foundation will help.
